Academics

At Webb we focus on giving students a broad-based liberal arts and sciences education where learning happens through authentic discovery and rigorous scholarship. We work to prepare students, not just for entry into the most selective colleges and universities, but also for the rigors of leading in a fast-paced, fluid global community where personal integrity and moral courage are paramount.

Athletics

Webb athletics, built on our core value of honor, promotes character, self-confidence, and a sense of commitment that inspires student athletes to become leaders throughout their lives. We field 42 teams in 15 different sports. Webb teams own 80 league titles and 3 CIF titles.

Arts

Art is about seeing different perspectives, effectively communicating ideas, and finding inventive solutions to problems—all essential skills for future leadership. At Webb, art is not extra: every student takes at least two years of art courses, and student art is part of almost every aspect of campus life.

Alf Museum

The Alf Museum is a perfect example of unbounded thinking in action. It’s not just a place where students go to look at fossils. It’s a place where students are part of the scientific process, where they learn the joy of discovery, where they actually advance science.
